The Second Edition of Qualitative Methods in Social Work Research provides accessible how-to instruction for social work and other practice-based researchers interested in carrying out rigorous and relevant qualitative research. This comprehensive, expanded version offers a sophisticated introduction to qualitative methods based upon six major approaches: ethnography, grounded theory, case study, narrative, phenomenological, and participatory action research. Similar to the earlier edition, this Second Edition is a highly readable introduction to qualitative research that combines attention to methodological rigor with pragmatic concerns for real-world relevance.

  • Emphasizes community-based and cross-cultural research
  • Presents case illustrations of exemplary qualitative studies, with several drawn from the author′s qualitative study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health

  • Gives detailed instructions on coding and thematic development
Intended Audience
